Finally, by adding a fifth strand to the box plait it was possible to

simulate Dreadlocks. Natural Dreadlocks are created using the same grid

of one centre metre sections, and with the addition of a cream similar to

Pomade, the natural hair is twisted in one to form a type of rod, repeat

this process to the natural hair on each section all over the head. After

four weeks there will be about a centre metre of new growth, take each

rod and twist until the roots are tight again, continue this process once a

month until you have a full head of long Dreadlocks. Fig 14
